I just created a blog.mysite.com domain and installed WordPress. However, when I go to blog.mysite.com it isn't redirecting to WordPress - blog.mysite.com/wordpress. Should I move the contents of the /wordpress directory to my blog root folder or create an .htaccess redirect?

This is only going to be a wordpress blog so I assume I can move the files instead of creating a redirect, no?

You should put the WordPress files in the root of the subdomain - that is, wherever your host's document root for blog.mysite.com is. In my case, that's /public_html/blog; but I assume that could be different from host to host.

I would recommend doing a fresh install, rather than just moving the files - unless you're comfortable with potentially manually editing the DB to change WordPress URL/Site URL settings.
